The Palm Pre 2 is officially launching and it will be featuring the new WebOS 2. Since the buyout of Palm by HP, many have been wondering what the future had in store from RIM’s former rival.

The best deal we have seen so far is from Vodafone UK which provides users with the handset for free under a 35 Pound monthly tariff.
